Finding the packages that select another one in a specific configuration is not very trivial: - when optional, the dependency is not expressed in Kconfig - looking at the .mk files is not very nice. Introduce a way to dump reverse dependencies of packages, i.e. the list of packages that directly depend on that package. Like for direct dependencies, we limit the list to the first-order reverse dependencies. Document it in the main help; use the opportunity to also document foo-show-depends. Signed-off-by: "Yann E.

Buildroot is a simple, efficient and easy-to-use tool to generate embedded Linux systems through cross-compilation. The documentation can be found in docs/manual. You can generate a text document with 'make manual-text' and read output/docs/manual/manual.text. Online documentation can be found at http://buildroot.org/docs.html To build and use the buildroot stuff, do the following: 1) run 'make menuconfig' 2) select the target architecture and the packages you wish to compile 3) run 'make' 4) wait while it compiles 5) find the kernel, bootloader, root filesystem, etc. in output/images You do not need to be root to build or run buildroot. Have fun! Buildroot comes with a basic configuration for a number of boards. Run 'make list-defconfigs' to view the list of provided configurations. Please feed suggestions, bug reports, insults, and bribes back to the buildroot mailing list: buildroot@buildroot.org You can also find us on #buildroot on Freenode IRC.
